The challenge is on!!Every 1st grader is to read 100
books…but we can do even better than that right?!
Speed to Read ChallengeGuided Reading Books: Will count when read independently. The same book can be written down up to 2 times on their log for each turn.
Non Fiction Books: Can be recorded as many times as read.
Nascar Themed Books: Can be recorded as many times as read and they count double!!!
Chapter Books: Each chapter counts as 1 book.
Speed to ReadReading Log: Mrs. Pollock will check the reading log and move your child’s car for every 10 books read. Even though each child is expected to read 100 books= 1million words, we want them to continue reading and logging books even if they have reached 100. Clara Love wants to win the challenge against Hatfield and Justin Elementary!
A “just right” book is a book on your child’s reading level.
